Vinnies Townsville

“Well stocked and managed charity shop…wish we had Vinnies in England 🇬🇧 5*”

“The locked cabinet of crockery and collectibles is way over priced. I saw a foley/shelley cup and saucer trio there today for $250. I am not sure why? If you wanted the same trio you could find it at a high street antique store for about $50-80 or ebay for less. Is anyone going to buy it at $250? Really? Would be better to empty the crowded cupboard by marking the prices appropriately and get the items sold with the money into the system to do good things. This is what I expect to happen when I donate goods. Or put the big ticket items on ebay as the salvos do. I turned around and walked out. I have shopped here before and the staff are very helpful but I won't be back. I think vinnies need to rethink their strategy at this store so that the average shopper can have some old wares too, at a fair price. I volunteer at another store and we do things very differently.”

“It's huge and has a lot of stuff but I just don't like my op shops to be so 'shop' like. Very clean, lots of places to sit but just doesn't feel like a real op shop. Beautiful display cabinets but prices are close to retail.”

“Very new and clean. Love the work of staff on the displays. Lovely ladies at the checkout. However it’s pretty pricey for clothing , particularly in the boutique, wedding, ladies etc. One dress by designer was $90 which for an opshop is ridiculous. Other items didn’t seem overpriced though. Good choice of new or used I thought.”

“One of the largest Vinnies store I have ever seen in my life, it has got absolutely everything in there, from second- clothing furniture bric-a-brac, also has a wide variety of new items including new furniture new towels new clothing. It was very well set out very clean excellent store world definitely be going there very often 😀”
